alrite alrite i am gonna rant a little here ,, so be it.... YEs i know the rules of Halo, yes i am a smart/good player.but heres my sob story. I am not the type of player that runs through his buddy list to get a party started for a team game such as slayer or snipers. I do however usually have 2 of my friends that i know personally that join up with me and we play as a party of 3, but why why why why on earth is that 4th player we need soooooo bad every time we get matched up??? It doesnt matter if we are playin in mid 20 ranks or low teens, that 4th player is TERRIBLE. He might go a solid 2 and 16 or better yet quit cuz its not a BR start. The worst part is we all know this chump is gonna be a terrible player cuz in the pregame we see his infamous gamertag such as some pitiful name like ScaryStarfish11 or something like Andy171635, Sorry to rant but how does this happen? i am sure we all have this sort of luck but how does this happen.... What gets me is ,, how is this dudes rank like a 27 or 28? Does this punk just get carried EVERY game??? Oh ps is there anything worse when ur plcaying a ranked game and the lone soldier just stands there and doesnt play... booooo,,,
Ok i'm done, i guess i should just play with more friends, but i am sure we can all relate.

yup only thing worse is getting matched up with 3 crappy players that all quit on tombstone and the other team paints the map with your blood for the whole game cause I refuse to quit.......

1) its hard to cooperate with the person you dont know and vice versa
2) a lot of times i go in alone i am so use to playing with my friends that i know they usually have my back...but when im alone they dont so this could have been mutual
3) a lot of times i have seen most bad people go in alone from my experience

Here i got one for you. Back in the day, before the beta, i was playing team training primarily. I'm an alright player i think, played over 3500 games if that gives you any idea. But for a long period of time 3 or 4 months i played nothing but team training straight for some reason. Now everyone knows that guests are allowed in team training. Damn near everytime there was a guest i was getting matched up with them on my team. Being completely honest, less then 10 times in 3 to 4 months of playing i got on the team with no guests. All the other games i got paired with guests if there were guests.. It was crazy, litterallly was pissing me off. Couldn't understand why i was never on the team with no guests. Still have no idea what that was all about.

probably because of you rank i think it still takes that into consideration even on unranked matches...

I figured it was because of my rank, because it was happening so often. Almost 100 percent of the time. Pisses me off just thinking about it, even though its just training. Still want to win every game i play.

Ya its almost depressing when u go into a training game and u get teamed up with the guy with his 2 guests playing on a 13 inch tv on your team, and then to top it off you finally get a good game you enjoy and get annihilated by the other team due to the bad bad guests.

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

ScaryStarfish11 ? andy171635 ? its not as nooby as if you got matched up with guys named Xx h3aDsHoT or MLGxFaTaL. from my experience all those guys with those wannabe pro gamertags all suck.

No, your reply had no purpose.

Talk to me, talk to me......some games I cant get word one from a player as to where the other team is. Whats your plan?
If I know the other teams postion I am less likely to be blown to kingdom come by the other team or by my own. In swat it is really important to know Team postion. in Slayer one has to know to gain the upper hand in controling an area. Plan to make it known to me and you can find I can hold my own with you.
If I know where they are I can flank and shoot them from the rear and leave them without a postion to retreat or keep them busy enough for you to get the flag home or plant the bomb.

Communications work, so talk to me.

Maybe you're playing with people who don't know what they are doing and needing help to learn.
What bugs me the most about people who rant and complain is, what are they doing to change things instead of sticking their nose in the air and saying they are so much better than everyone else. Something you can do when you get someone who is not playing up to your "standard", help them to play better. Instead you sit back and complain and do not show them or tell them how they can improve. Wouldn't it be a nice place if we all helped those who are a little less in the know and who have not a clue what is going on?
